Imagine if you were on a professional football team and you had a member of the offensive line that seemingly was tanking plays and letting the quarterback get sacked at every possible chance.
You would start to think that this guy wasn’t worth the amount of money that he was being paid right? Then, one day, while on an away game, the night before the game the coach can’t find the guy. He has just disappeared. Well, someone might think that he has family in town and he snuck off from the team hotel to say hello to an old uncle that he hasn’t connected with in a while. Then the truth comes out.
The guy has really gone to the other team’s practice facility and left a copy of your team’s playbook in the other coach’s office. That folks, is the exact thing that some of these RINO’s have been doing…
The Republican Party is finally abandoning one of the most notorious RINOs in Washington, D.C., rescinding their support and voting to censure her for no longer supporting the values of the GOP.
If Senator Lisa Murkowski wants to keep her seat, she’s going to have to rely on the support of Democrats and Independents, as 3/4 of the Alaska Republican Party has voted to censure her “for a litany of grievances that indicate she no longer supports the core mission and vision of the GOP,” according to The Alaska Watchman.
Murkowski is up for reelection in 2022, but a new voting scheme that was narrowly approved in the last general election may give her an advantage.
The Alaska Watchman reported on the details of the voting scheme:
“[Murkowski] can take advantage of the new ranked choice voting scheme that a narrow majority of Alaskans approved in the last general election. Ranked-choice voting does away with all party primaries in favor of a nonpartisan primary in which the top four candidates go on to the general election. Many political observers see this as an advantage for Murkowski who is one of the most liberal Republicans in the U.S. Senate. By having a general, nonpartisan primary, candidates can hide their political affiliations and thereby conceal their true political philosophy from voters in the primary…
Once the top four candidates make it out of the primary, voters will then vote on their first, second, third and fourth place choices in the general election. If one candidate wins a majority of first place votes, they are the automatic winner. If, however, no candidate wins a majority of first-place votes, the candidate with the fewest first place votes is eliminated and all their second-place votes are doled out to the remaining candidates. This process continues until one candidate wins a majority of votes.
